What is an irregular screen?

LED special-shaped display refers to a customized LED screen to meet assorted angles and shapes needed in different projects. Since a large-size LED display is composed of many singles LED displays and a single LED display is composed of a cabinet and multiple display modules. The cabinet can be customized according to requirements, and so do the modules. This modular design and flexible cabinet design make it easier to customize the shapes of the screen according to different requirements. For example, flexible LED display screens which are made of Flexible LED display (FL series) by Premteco belong to the special-shaped LED screens.

Among all LED display modules, flexible LED display modules are more likely to shape irregular LED displays. The flexible LED screen can be bent in multiple angles and curves and has flexible installation methods to better meet individual design. FL series flexible LED display module produced by Premteco, the pixel pitches are 1.906mm, 2.54mm, 3.81mm, The flexible LED display module is light, thin, flexible, and can be bent at will. The light source is made of high-quality anti-glare black LED lights, so the quality of the display is good, and it can work stably.

With the development of the modern economy, people are in the great pursuit of individual needs of LED screens, and there is an increasing demand for LED displays of various shapes, such as cube screens used in bars and shopping malls. Such as hanging screens, spherical screens are the applications of LED special-shaped displays. There are a variety of installation methods for special-shaped LED displays, such as floor-standing, hanging, embedded, and hoisting. Different installation methods present different visual effects. And now special-shaped LED displays to turn out in indoor sites, such as museums, science and technology museums, planning halls, archives, memorial halls, local history halls, party history halls, intangible cultural heritage halls, red cultural halls, corporate exhibition centers, and visitor centers, featured towns, large-scale exhibitions at the global expo, cultural and art festivals, transnational curation, cultural IP industry, multi-functional conference halls, etc. It can be seen that the market demand for special-shaped LED displays will increase with the expansion of users' personalized needs.

LED special-shaped screens are can be classified into the following categories:

1)Spherical LED screen

The LED spherical screen has a 360° full viewing angle and can play videos in all directions. You can feel good visual effects at any angle without concerns about viewing angles. At the same time, it can also directly project spherical objects such as the earth, football, etc. to the display screen according to needs, which makes the images vivid and is widely used in museums, science and technology museums, and exhibition halls.

2)LED video signs

LED video signs are assembled with special LED modules of different specifications. They are not limited by the size of the screen and can be flexibly assembled into screens according to the shape of text, graphics, and LOGO that customers need. They are used on building roofs, well-known enterprises, bank securities, municipal construction, and landmark buildings that can enhance the commercial value of enterprises.

3)LED DJ bar

Over the past two years, LED DJ bars have become a necessary matching in some top bars and nightclubs. The LED DJ bar can produce the most dazzling effect, making the music and vision a perfect match. By matching customized videos, the DJ station and the large LED screen are integrated, which can be played independently, combined with the large screen, or superimposed to make the stage more attractive.

4)LED Rubik's Cube

The LED Rubik's Cube is usually composed of six LED faces on the flat screen, or it can be spliced into a geometric shape in a special shape, achieving a perfect connection with the smallest gap between these faces. It can be viewed from any angle around it, getting rid of the viewing restrictions of traditional flat screens. It is suitable for installation in the atrium of a bar, hotel or commercial real estate, and can give the audience a new visual experience.

5) Arc-shaped LED display

The display surface of the screen is a part of a cylindrical surface, and its expanded view is a rectangle.

6) Irregular-shaped display

The display surface of the screen is an irregular plane, such as a circle, a triangle, or a completely irregular plane.

7)Curved LED display

The surface of the curved-screen can be a three-dimensional curved surface, such as a spherical screen, a polyhedron screen, and a sky screen.

8) LED strip screen

The surface of the screen is composed of a number of display strips, and this type of screen has a large pixel pitch, high permeability, and low contrast.

LED special-shaped screens have high requirements for R&D capabilities and technology: 

Compared with conventional LED displays, special-shaped LED displays to take a great breakthrough on structural framework. At present, LED special-shaped screen modules mainly have fan-shaped, arc-shaped, circular cylindrical, triangular and other structural forms. They are more suitable for users with special needs and are currently mainly used in performing arts venues, outdoor media, exhibition hall squares and other environments. Because of the different appearance and structure of LED special-shaped screens, the technical requirements for manufacturers are more stringent. If the manufacturer's technology is not good enough, It will have many problems such as uneven appearance due to excessive seam gaps and discontinuous splicing surfaces, which will affect the viewing effect and destroy the aesthetics of the overall design.

The emergence of special-shaped modules makes LED special-shaped screens have better modeling capabilities.

For a long period of time, special-shaped LED screens have been implemented by traditional rectangular flat module assembly or wrapping. The most common special-shaped LED screens are large arc curved screens and flat circular screens. When the arc of the screen is small and the display form is more complicated, the seams and flatness cannot be solved well, it will result in the inconsistent display, mosaic and other problems, which makes the overall effect of the display poor. In response to this problem, some manufacturers have developed special-shaped modules such as triangles and trapezoids, which can be assembled into a variety of regular or irregular geometric LED displays such as spheres, diamonds, gems, and stars.

The difference between LED flexible soft screen and conventional LED display:

Features of LED flexible soft screen:

Strong installation adaptability, better heat dissipation, easy maintenance, thin and high protection. It can realize a variety of different properties, such as spherical, arc, etc., and can be installed in horizontal and vertical bending deformation without being restricted by application scenarios;

Cool: Fully transparent materials are optional, creative double-sided display, real-life 3D effect;

Easy maintenance: The original LED embedded strip structure allows quick maintenance on-site;

Light: weight is only 10kg/㎡, easy to install and transport products, saving installation time and cost;

Thin: The thickness is only about 10mm, which takes up a small space and saves installation and transportation space;

High protection: The protection level is up to IP65, without fear of severe rain and weather, and can be used outdoors with confidence.

Conventional LED display features:

Brightness: outdoor brightness is greater than 8000mcd/m2, which is the only large display terminal that supports outdoor all-weather use; indoor brightness is greater than 2000md/m2;

In terms of service life: LED life is as long as 100,000 hours. This parameter generally refers to the design life, even when the brightness is dark;

Viewing angle: the indoor viewing angle can be greater than 160 degrees, the outdoor viewing angle can be greater than 120 degrees. The viewing angle depends on the shape of the LED light-emitting diode;

The area of the LED screen can be large or small, as small as less than one square meter, and as large as hundreds or thousands of square meters.

Which is better between flexible LED screen or conventional LED screen?

Through the analysis of the above characteristics, we know that the flexible LED screen is lighter, thinner, easy to install and maintain, flexible and more energy-efficient than the conventional LED display. However, we can’t claim which is better. This need depends on the specific application field and display needs. For example, the traditional use of squares, hotels, commercial streets and other places, only to display video broadcast advertisements, etc., it is recommended that the traditional LED display application effect will be better; if it is in the field of stage design, nightclub and building surface decoration that requires cool and personalized, then It is better to choose LED flexible soft screen, which can be made into various shapes such as spherical or arc.
